(Get the code!)
I just wanted to clarify this. The message: 'WindowsBackend' object has no attribute 'iso_path' occurs when installing Wubi and there is something wrong with the CD.
The message: 'WindowsBackend' object has no attribute 'cd_path' occurs when using the CD boot helper (to use Wubi to help boot a live CD).
These are two separate tasks, so probably should have two separate bugs. I have a one line fix for the first, but it's still unsatisfactory because it still goes on to fail with the end message being that it "Could not download the metalink therefore the CD etc. " If it is going to 'keep going' with the install after finding a bad CD, fine, but if it's always going to fail then it should do so with the relevant message i.e. bad md5sum or size mismatch etc. So I'll investigate that some more. When I've got something I'll create another bug and attach my results there.
The CD boot helper is used less commonly. It's easy enough to fix the meaningless error message by making sure the attribute is defined, but I haven't got it to complete successfully after that so there's a little more to the puzzle.
